520    "I've lived a completely ordinary life, so much that I 
       don't know how to write a transgender or queer or 
       Appalachian story, because I don't feel like I've lived 
       one. ... Though, in searching for ways to write myself in 
       my stories, maybe I can find power in this ordinariness." 
       Raised in southeast Ohio, Stacy Jane Grover would not 
       describe her upbringing as "Appalachian." Appalachia 
       existed farther afield-more rural, more country than the 
       landscape of her hometown. Grover returned to the places 
       of her childhood to reconcile her identity and experience 
       with the culture and the people who had raised her. She 
       began to reflect on her memories and discovered that group
       identities like Appalachian and transgender are linked by 
       more than just the stinging brand of social otherness. In 
       Tar Hollow Trans, Grover explores her transgender 
       experience through common Appalachian cultural traditions.
       In "Dead Furrows," a death vigil and funeral leads to an 
       investigation of Appalachian funerary rituals and their 
       failure to help Grover cope with the grief of being denied
       her transness. "Homeplace" threads family interactions 
       with farm animals and Grover's coming out journey, 
       illuminating the disturbing parallels between the American
       Veterinary Association's guidelines for ethical euthanasia
       and the World Professional Association for Transgender 
       Health's guidelines for transgender care. Together, her 
       essays write transgender experience into broader cultural 
       narratives beyond transition and interrogate the failures 
       of concepts such as memory, metaphor, heritage, and 
       tradition. Tar Hollow Trans investigates the ways the 
       labels of transgender and Appalachian have been created 
       and understood and reckons with the ways the ever-becoming
       transgender self, like a stigmatized region, can find new 
       spaces of growth"--|cProvided by publisher.
